The Process- SanSan’s Bowl of Tuberose

Bowl of Tuberose (the flower is known in mandarin as 晚香玉). 24″ x 24″, acrylic.

It’s based on a photo, but I did not expect flowers and bouquets to be so tricky! I visited some art galleries in Ho Chi Min city recently for the first time, and I was so amazed by some of the work of vietnamese artists. I tried to remember as much as I could and had to experiment when I got back. I think the trick is…LAYERING!
